Looking great already! May I ask, what tools did you use to cut out those panels so cleanly?

Cheers,

Thank's everyone this will give me headhache ..... i really dont have idea if it will work well or not... and where i have to begin too let's see

Marcus: i use a sharp scalpel and go several times (hundreds :/ ) trough it until it cut, but it's not so clean, pictures show it better than what it it in real.... that's why i have used this platicard too

Now that it's looking better i need to make it look smoother.... as seen on the 2 first pictures there are impoerfections... So i go with putty and tons of sanding

This, will be epic! Follow with great interest...

Do you plan to use HD's F430 engine kit to this?

The Scud's looking really great. The patience and effort to cut out the hood and rear deck has really paid off, gonna be a real gem when it's all wrapped up.
Looking forward to seeing more.

Thank you CBartolomew, this is gonna be a difficult one.... but challenge is entousiastic!

Now for some update body has ben sanded and primered, doors cutted away too. Seem's ok for the moment.

Next i go with the undertray as it will have just little modifications.

Wow!

So now that body is a bit ok i will continue with chassis.

First the brakes, i have used the dremel a sanding paper for making a more realistic structure than the photoetched.

Used some simulated bolts too.
